Boom and Stick for Long Reach Excavation
Durable front parts help you get the best out of your machine.
" Finite elements analysis: analyses the design structural
stresses and enables optimization of durability and
performance.
" Castings and forgings are used at high stress areas such
as boom nose, boom foot, boom cylinder and stick foot.
" Internal baffle plates give the structures extra strength
and durability to withstand torsional loads.
" Large welded box section structures with thick,
multi-plate fabrication are used in high-stress areas.
" The Long Reach Excavation boom and stick are stress
relieved, thanks to an in-house heat treatment, to
maximize material strength and durability.

SmartBoom"!
Scraping rock and finishing work is easy and fast.
SmartBoom simplifies the task and allows the operator
to fully concentrate on stick and bucket, while boom freely
goes up and down without using pump flow. Therefore,
less strain is generated on the structures.
